Unburden Yourselves

Dear Readers,

I attended the wedding of a close relative yesterday and was away from my beloved internet for the best part of 48 hours and thats why I havent been able to share my thoughts. I hope that too many of you havent been logging on to this site every 5 minutes wondering why i havent posted something new because - lets face it and i am gonna be candid about this - that would be pure sad! still i am sure those of you who did are smart enough not to admit it.

My random thought for the weekend is about carrying the burden of all your worries by yourself. Now i know that to say a problem shared is a problem halved is cliched and people dont like cliches - so i am going to talk about burdens from a slightly different perspective. If you can share it with someone - do so! No matter how ashamed you are or concious of appearing self absorbed - sharing a problem will help yourself identify precisely what the problems are and every now and again - believe this or not - but people who have just experienced the problem for the first time can provide some very useful incites on how to solve the problem!

Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a confidante with whom they can share their worries - write yourself an email at the end of every day expressing what it is you are worried about exactly and when you read over what you have written - you will find immediate solace in the fact that you have identified the core issues and now that you know precisely what they are - you can focus your attentions on the solutions to these problems.

I think to summise the point I will state the essence of this point in a single line:

the biggest burden that most human beings carry is the inability to precisely identify the root causes of their worries.

Stop - think! If you could identify precisely what it is you are worried about at the end of every day before you sleep - how easier would it be finding solutions to these precise problems rather than solutions for vague worries? If the answer to this question is something you are finding heart warming, you can live a life a lot less burden free than you have known before. Share your problems! If you aint got anyone - drop me a line at moostee90@hotmail.com if you want - or even write yourself an email- you would be amazed at how therapeutic it can prove!

I got to crash because I got work tomorrow, but I should be back tomorrow.

Breathe deeply and remember an identified problem is a lot more solvable than a vague worry!
